Patagioenas fasciata
oak woodland
This is an adult male in full breeding plumage. The courtship ritual of this species is very interesting. The male calls from its roost, then takes off clapping its wings loudly. It then proceeds to take very rapid and shallow wingbeats while giving a deep "hoooo" call.
